Welcome to BC BookWorld's Information Station!

We're a newspaper about books. We've been around since
1987. We aspire to middle-brow usefulness. Four times per year, we produce
Canada's largest-circulation independent publication about literature.

Our newspaper is available via more than 675 non-virtual
distributors, or by subscription. We believe people can make up their
own minds as to what they ought to read -- so we provide lively, up-to-date,
unbiased news.

George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award

The GEORGE WOODCOCK LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD annually honours an outstanding literary career in British Columbia. Since 1994, the City of Vancouver (Mayor of Vancouver's office), the Vancouver Public Library, and a non-profit society (Pacific BookWorld News Society, founded in 1988) have been working in partnership to jointly sponsor and present an annual prize to a senior B.C. author.
